Oh yeah, anyone know what actually happened with Jean-Luc anyway? The last minute KYC thing seemed to be a direct response to screw him based on based on his legal threats, knowing that he wouldn't KYC. Did he ever end up KYC-ing, or does he just have to forfeit his IOTA?

Not sure but if I were you I'd reach out to Ralf at the IOTA Foundation. He seems to be the one pushing things along. He also told me all list 1 reclaims would be done by the end of the month.

I should note here for public record that I too received my reclaim yesterday.

I am list 1. with 0 IOTA. David processed everyone from list 1 who said they would donate a % of their IOTA to the foundation. Those who did not offer were ignored and are still being ignored. I originally declined because I find it wholly inappropriate to solicit donations as part of the same process of giving people their money back, especially since it had already been 9 months of waiting. As it turns out I was correct - he only processed those who paid. One guy told him to F-off about the donation. Can you take a guess as to whether or not his reclaim was processed? It was not. The donations feel like a shakedown.

He ignored me after saying I'd like to consider the donation separately from this process, so I attempted to pay the bribe and offered up 5% of my stake. So far that hasn't had an effect.

According to David, I should quite whining, and this is all my fault. How long is an acceptable amount of time for me to sit here and shut up before complaining? It has been 11 months.

I just sent David another email. It's been 11 months since I first started attempting to reclaim my IOTA.

Still nothing even after offering a donation as ransom.

Pretty cool post from last year:

I just went back and re-read this whole thread again, which was started in July 2017. This whole thing is even more insane than I remember. The amount of hoops we've jumped through and broken promises is staggering. It doesn't feel like we are any closer to a resolution than we were in July.

Honestly, this was the most discouraging post in this thread. Not even cfb can get through to David, and it sounds like he's done trying.

We've all asked David repeatedly over the past 9 months, and received 0 responses. Not even any acknowledgment that this issue exists, besides a post that seemed mostly retaliatory to JL enforcing some ridiculous KYC that we complied with anyway. This goes far beyond being busy. David thinks we are getting what we deserve and clearly has no interest in helping us. More doubtful than ever that this will get resolved.

Ok cool will do what's his phone number.

Haha, this is such a joke.

cfb does this have anything to do with our claims? Are we now somehow both waiting on both David, and lawyers?

I'm pretty sure David just points to /dev/null. I've never received any response from him in 8 months.

I first reached out to iota support regarding this matter on 5/19/17. It's been 8 months of waiting, instructions, run-around, and largely silence. Everyone points to someone else. Let's please get this over with.

July 2017
-Please get your claims in for the snapshot before July 11th

December 2017
-Video Conference w/ cfb and give him all of your private details.

January 10th, 2018
-WE HAVE NOW COMPLETED *ALL RECLAIMS! *Except for you guys. You guys should keep waiting

January 14th, 2018
-David had some confustion about MsCollec, but will just send it to his first address

January 18th, 2018
-Announcement in Discord: We are talking with our lawyers to figure out KYC. Will have an announcement soon.

March 19th, 2018
-David is waiting for the last person from group 1 to get their nude selfie in before he can process these claims.

November 14th, 2019
-If you have not yet tattoo'd your old seed on your forearm, please schedule an appointment ASAP and email proof to iota support.

December 3rd, 2021
-You must understand that David is very busy, and due the the physical toll he can only schedule one sparring match with reclaimants per month. We want to get reclaims processed ASAP but unfortunately can only do so once you've proven you aren't a weak little baby.

To clarify, this is 100% trolling us, correct?

This was back on November 28th. We all understand that he is busy. A little communication here from him would go a really long way. Hard for me to believe he will ever make this a priority, or that it's on his mind at all. Why can't Dom or CfB take this process over?

I have this sinking feeling that people in list 1 will not be included in the "all reclaims complete by Jan 10" deadline. Would love to be wrong though.

Can someone confirm that converting your lower case seed (from unclaimed round 1) to uppercase is the right thing to do when doing step 1 of the claiming process? The transaction confirms, I just want to be sure that this will work when it comes time to do part 2.

I'm in group 1 and have emailed cfb as instructed, added on skype with requested info. Waiting on next steps.
